Cooktop safety
Your safety is important to us
This guide contains safety statements under warning symbols. Please pay special attention to
these symbols and follow instructions.
WARNING!
This symbol alerts you to hazards such as fire, electrical shock, or other injuries.
Important safety instructions
CAUTION!
Do not touch heating elements or areas near elements. Elements may be hot even
though they are dark in color. Areas near surface may become hot enough to cause
burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials
contact elements or areas near elements until they have had sufficient time to cool.
CAUTION!
Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a cooktop. Children climbing
on the cooktop could be seriously injured.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the
cooktop, follow basic precautions including the following:
General safety tips
This appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the appliance is in use.
They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while
using the appliance.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in
the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
Do not store flammable materials near the appliance.

Do not use water on grease fires. Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam type
extinguisher.
Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth.
Use an appropriate pan size. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface
units of different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of
the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper
relationship of utensil to element will also improve efficiency.
Never leave an element unattended at HI heat settings - boilover causes smoking and
greasy spills that may ignite.
Glazed cooking utensils. Only certain types of glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware
or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature.
To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be turned inward,
so that it does not extend over adjacent elements.
Do not cook on broken cooktop. If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Turn off
at the wall switch. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
Clean cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Some heavy-duty scourers can scratch the ceramic glass of your cooktop.

Temperature control
Your cooktop offers a wide range of temperature
settings from delicate slow cooking to the intense
hot temperatures needed for boiling and searing.
As the control knob is turned clockwise, the heat
output is increased. Turn the control knob to
the HI setting to begin cooking and adjust as
necessary.
The control knob must be pushed down to turn
it from the OFF position. When the control knobs
are in any position other than OFF, they may be
turned without pushing down.
The elements are controlled by variable energy regulators giving infinite control. There is no
‘stop’ at the low marking, this is to allow you to experiment at finding the minimum heat for
those delicate cooking tasks. (The power level drops off rapidly to zero below the LO marking).
The HI setting is ideal for boiling, searing or frying. For general cooking purposes turn the
control knob to the HI setting to begin cooking and adjust as necessary. Once your pan is hot,
reduce the temperature to maintain a steady heat to cook your food through.
Cooking efficiency will vary due to the different types of cooking utensils used. Cooking results
are influenced by pot quality and size. It is essential that pot size matches the diameter of
the cooking zone. Use flat bottom utensils of good quality. Poor performance is often due to
incorrect pot size. You will need to experiment with the temperature settings to match your
desired cooking result.
Be sure you turn the control knob off when you finish cooking. You will feel a click at the off
position (marked ), and see the indicator light change colour.
Dual circuit controls
Select the full element by turning the knob counter-clockwise to high. To heat the inner
element only, turn clockwise to high.
Hot surface indicators
The indicator light glows red whenever an element
is on. After the element has been turned off, the
indicator will glow amber until the element surface
has cooled down to a temperature that is safe to
touch.

Supersimmer
The front right element of your cooktop is fitted with
a unique simmer control. This allows the element to
be turned down to a very low and even power setting
(25 watts compared with 60 watts on other elements).
These lower settings are ideal for melting chocolate and
butter, cooking rice and delicate sauces and simmering
soups and stews. It can also be used as a ‘warm zone’
for keeping cooked food hot.
The Supersimmer element is just as powerful (1200W)
in the top heat range as the same size standard element
(lefthand rear element) allowing food to be browned,
seared, sautéed or boiled before simmering all on the
same element.
Temperature limiters
Temperature limiters are fitted to the elements to prevent the glass from overheating. You may
notice the limiters turn the elements on and off during cooking.
Heating tips
Choose cookware of a suitable size, material and construction.
Place your pan on the element prior to turning on the heat.
Minimize the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
Select the most appropriate temperature setting for the cooking task.
When you need to boil, simmer or pan fry food, first set the temperature to HI. Once boiling
or your pan is hot, reduce the temperature setting to maintain a steady heat to cook your food
through.
Using a lid will help retain the heat.
Using the heat retained in the ceramic glass after the element has been turned off helps to finish
the cooking process or to keep foods warm.
Radiant elements
The element will cycle on and off to maintain your selected heat setting.
It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or another element on the glass surface when the
surface is cool.
Even after the elements are turned off, the glass surface retains enough heat to continue
cooking. To avoid over-cooking, remove pans from hot elements when the food is cooked.
Avoid placing anything on a hot element until it has cooled completely (the hot surface indicator
light has gone out).

Cookware
To get the best results out of your cooktop follow these simple suggestions :
Use heavy gauge, flat, smooth bottom pans that conform to the diameter of the cooking area.
This will provide good contact with the glass and help reduce cooking times.
Cookware with a stainless steel sandwich base or enamelled cast iron will give you the best
results.
When food comes to the boil reduce the temperature setting.
Never use plastic or aluminium foil dishes on the cooktop.
Aluminium and copper-bottomed cookware can cause a metallic residue to remain on the
cooktop. If left, this becomes difficult to remove. Clean the cooktop after every use.
Jagged edges on saucepans or heavy frypans will scratch the cooktop.
Using a lid will reduce cooking times.

Cleaning
Caring for your cooktop
Clean the cook top thoroughly before using for the first time. Apply about 1/4 teaspoon of non-
abrasive cleaner e.g. Weiman Cook Top Cleaning Creme to the ceramic glass with a clean cloth.
Wipe over the entire surface with a damp cloth to remove any cleaner residue and dry with a
clean lint-free cloth. The cook top may stain if cleaning residue or moisture remains.
To keep your cook top looking attractive and easy to clean, wipe over with an approved cleaner
after every cooking session. Apply the cleaning creme sparingly onto the cool ceramic surface
with a clean cloth. Rub well to remove dirt and grease. Wipe with a damp cloth and dry with a
clean lint-free cloth. Normal wear and tear will occur but this will not affect the performance of
the cook top.
Avoid the use of abrasive or corrosive cleaning products. Nylon scouring pads, steel wool,
pumice scourers, oven sprays or strong caustic cleaners may scratch or cause pitting of the
ceramic glass surface.
Remove any heavy or burned on spills or grease using the scraper provided. Apply 1/4 teaspoon
of cleaning creme to the cool soiled area and holding the scraper at a 30° angle to the cook top
surface and gently scrape off any residue. Take care not to scratch or gouge the surface. Creme
cleaners work well when the surface is still warm but to avoid personal injury do not wipe or
clean any hot areas.
WARNING!
Cut Hazard
When the safety cover is retracted the blade in the scraper is razor
sharp. Use with extreme care and always store safely and out of reach of
children.
Some heavy-duty scourers can scratch the ceramic glass of your cooktop.
Food spillovers with a high sugar content such as jellies, fudge and candy syrups must be
removed immediately, before cooling, as they can cause permanent damage to the cooktop.
Plastics and aluminium foil can also cause pitting and must never be allowed to melt on. Special
care should be taken when removing hot substances. Turn off all surface units affected by
the spillover and remove the hot pans. Wearing an oven mitt to hold the scraper, scrape the spill
to a cool area of the cook top and use a paper towel to remove any excess. Clean the surface
unit when cool. Do not continue to use the soiled area until all the spillover has been removed.
Remember some foods e.g. peas and turnip, have a naturally high sugar content.

Metallic stains
Copper based or aluminium saucepans may cause metallic staining. These stains show as a
metallic sheen on the cooktop. If the cooktop is not cleaned regularly and the stains are allowed
to burn onto the surface, they may react with the glass and will no longer be removable. The
use of a conditioner will help prevent damage if applied after every use.
Cleaning the stainless steel frame
Use warm soapy water for cleaning when the cooktop is cold. Apply soapy water with a soft
sponge or cloth. Do not use steel soap pads as this may dull the appearance of the appliance
over time.
After cleaning, wipe dry with a clean cloth to ensure the surface is thoroughly dry. For extra
shine, use a stainless steel polish such as 3M Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish.
Do not use abrasive cleaners on any part of the cooktop as this may damage the cooktop.
Do not drag pots over the edge of the cooktop as this may mark the stainless steel.

Q Is it possible for my cooktop to shatter?
A This is highly unlikely. The glass is very robust
and strong and goes through a vigorous
testing process before it is accepted.
Q Does the glass scratch easily?
A No, the glass is very tough. However check
that your pots do not have jagged edges on
the bottom. Some heavy-duty scourers can
scratch the ceramic glass of your cooktop.
Q What do the lights mean?
A These depict the status of the elements:
Red - the element is turned on.
Amber - the element is turned off but the
surface is still hot.
Q Will the graphics come off?
A No, the graphics on the glass are fused onto
the surface. However they may be obscured
by baked on food. This is easily removed with
the scraper supplied with the product. The
graphics on the stainless steel are etched by
laser. Refer to the Cleaning instructions.
Q Will the surface overheat?
A Each element is fitted with temperature
limiters that prevent overheating.
Q What is the best way to clean my cooktop?
A See Cleaning instructions.
Q Why do the elements appear to turn off while
cooking/heating?
A In order to maintain the selected temperature
the element may pulse on and off.
Q Do I need special pans?
A No, however flat bottom pans are
recommended as they are more energy
efficient and stable.
Q How can I achieve a low setting for delicate
cooking and simmering?
A The Supersimmer control on the front right
element allows it to be turned down to a
very low and even power setting.
Q Can I fit my Fisher & Paykel oven below my
cooktop?
A Yes, with a standard bench height.
Frequently asked questions
10

Trouble shooting
Problem Possible solutions
The graphics appear to
have worn off the glass.
This is unlikely to happen. It is probable that baked on food
has obscured the graphics. We recommend using a razor
scraper for removing such spills.
There is a metal sheen
on the glass.
This could be caused by copper or aluminium bottomed
pots. Ceramic cleaner should remove this. If the cooktop is
not cleaned regularly and the stains are allowed to burn onto
the surface, they may react with the glass and no longer be
removable.
The glass is being
scratched.
The most common cause of this is rough edged cookware,
check that your pots/pans have flat smooth bases. Some
heavy-duty scourers can scratch the ceramic glass of your
cooktop.
The element keeps
turning itself on and
off.
This is normal and is caused by :
1. The element cycling to prevent the glass from overheating.
2. The controller sometimes cycling to maintain your selected
heat setting.
The element status
indicator lights are no
longer working or are
showing the wrong
colour.

Seguridad del anafe
Su seguridad es importante para nosotros
Esta guía contiene declaraciones sobre seguridad bajo símbolos de llamada de atención. Por
favor preste especial atención a estos símbolos y siga las instrucciones.
ATENCION!
Este símbolo le alerta sobre peligros como fuego,electrocución y otras heridas.
Instrucciones de seguridad muy importantes
ATENCION!
No toque los calentadores o sus zonas aledañas. Los calentadores pueden estar
calientes aún cuando su color sea oscuro. Las zonas cercanas a la superficie pueden
calentarse lo suficiente como para ocasionar quemaduras. Durante y luego de su uso
no toque o permita que la ropa u otros materiales inflamables entren en contacto con
los calentadores o las zonas aledañas hasta que hayan tenido suficiente tiempo para
enfriarse.
ATENCION!
No almacene artículos de interés para niños en alacenas ubicadas encima del anafe. Los
niños que trepen al anafe pueden resultar seriamente lastimados.
ATENCION!
Para reducir el riesgo de fuego, electrocución, heridas o daños al utilizar el anafe siga las
siguientes precauciones básicas:
Generales
Para asegurar el funcionamiento correcto y seguro: el artefacto eléctrico debe ser
instalado y conectado a tierra correctamente por un técnico calificado.
Nunca utilice su artefacto eléctrico para calentar o entibiar el ambiente.
No deje niños solos cerca del lugar donde se está utilizando el anafe. Nunca permita que

Reparaciones del usuario: no repare o reemplace ningún componente de este artefacto
eléctrico a menos que se lo sugiera específicamente en el manual. Todo otro tipo de
reparación debe ser realizada por un técnico calificado.
Almacenamiento: los materiales inflamables no deben almacenarse cerca de este
artefacto eléctrico.
No utilice agua sobre incendios de grasa. Ahogue el fuego o las llamas o utilice
extinguidores de espuma o químicos secos.
Utilice solamente agarraderas secas. Las agarraderas húmedas o mojadas sobre las
superficies calientes pueden ocasionar quemaduras por vapor. No permita que las
agarraderas entren en contacto con los calentadores cuando éstos estén encendidos. No
utilice una toalla u otra tela voluminosa.
Utilice ollas y sartenes de tamaño adecuado. Este artefacto eléctrico posee uno
o más calentadores de diferente tamaño. Elija ollas y sartenes con fondos planos
suficientemente grandes como para cubrir la unidad calefactora. La utilización de
utensilios más pequeños expondrá una porción del calentador al contacto directo,
y puede provocar el encendido de la ropa. Una relación adecuada entre utensilio y
calentador mejorará también la eficiencia.
Nunca deje la superficie desatendida cuando el nivel de calor es alto (los rebosamientos
ocasionan humo y salpicaduras grasosas que pueden prender fuego).
Nutensilios de cocina vidriados. Sólo ciertos tipos de vitrocerámica, cerámica, cacharros
de alfarería u otros utensilios vidriados son adecuados para su uso sobre un anafe sin
que se rompan debido al cambio brusco en la temperatura.
Para reducir el riesgo de quemaduras, el encendido de materiales inflamables y las
salpicaduras debido a contacto no intencional con el utensilio, las manijas de los
utensilios deben posicionarse de forma tal que no se extiendan sobre los calentadores
adyacentes.
No cocine sobre un anafe roto. Si el anafe se rompiera, las soluciones de limpieza y las
salpicaduras podrían penetrarlo y aumentar así el riesgo de electrocución. Apague el
anafe desconectando el enchufe empotrado en la pared. Llame inmediatamente a un
técnico calificado.
Limpie el anafe con cuidado. Si utiliza un trapo o esponja mojada para limpiar
salpicaduras sobre una superficie de cocción caliente tenga cuidado de evitar
quemaduras de vapor. Algunos limpiadores pueden ocasionar vapores nocivos si se
aplican sobre una superficie caliente.
Algunas fibras de alta resistencia pueden rayar el vidrio cerámico de su parrilla.
